Help with property attribute! (C#)

[PedroLuz]

Hello there! Well, i simply couldn't find the code template for properties in C#, there's no error at all, but the way that the code is generated is just freaking me out x.x (although is the default way...)

Default way:

public int ID{
            get{
                  return _ID;
            }
            set{]

                  _ID = value;
            }
      }

I wanted the code to be like that:

public int ID
        {
            get
                {
                  return _ID;
            }
            set
                {
                  _ID = value;
            }
      }


Can anybody tell me where can i find this template? thanks for the attention!

Pedro,

If memory serves, you need to look up the PI macro. [It has nothing to do with the Greek letter; it's just called that.]

Play around with it, and you should be able to get what you want. There are a (very) few posts in the forum (none recently I think) that have some specific code, but you will probably be able to figure it out yourself.

You're looking at stereotype overrides for Operation templates.  (Feature stereotype = property).

The gap between ID and the first brace will be generated by the PI at the Operation template itself.  (From memory there is no override for that by default)

The rest of what you're interested in is in the Operation Body override for property.

Thanks Simon,

Does that mean you can edit a copy of the template to change the first one? Or is it absolutely fixed in stone?

Following your advice will cause the others will fall into place nicely, of course.

Whenever you make a change to a template and save it, EA saves a copy which EA will use in preference to the original.

The stereotype overrides allow a different template to be used based on the stereotype of the element in context.

That's fine Simon,

What I really wanted to know was whether creating a custom template would allow us to change the gap between the ID and the first brace. Or is this "no override" situation absolute?

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

Almost nothing is set in stone when doing a straight generate.  When doing a synchronize a few more things are (like parsed names matching model names).

I haven't tested this, but it should give you the right idea.

Code: [Select]

%OperationNotes%
%if opStereotype!="property" and opStereotype!="indexer" and opStereotype!="event"%
%if elemType == "Interface" or opTag:"delegate" == "true" or opAbstract == "T" or opTag:"extern" == "true"%
%PI=""%
%endIf%
%endIf%
%OperationDeclaration%
%OperationBody%

Thanks Simon. It looks pretty good.
